National Assessment of Geologic Carbon Dioxide Storage Resources Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently completed an evaluation of the technically accessible storage resource (TASR) for carbon dioxide (CO2) for 36 sedimentary basins in WKHRQVKRUHDUHDVDQG6WDWHZDWHUVRIWKH8QLWHG6WDWHVJ The TASR is an estimate of the geologic storage resource that may be available for CO2 injection and storage and is based on current geologic and hydrologic knowledge of the subsurface and current engineering practices.

Figure 2. Pie charts showing mean estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2012 of technically accessible storage resources (TASR) for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the United States by (A) type and class and (B) region. Resources were estimated for eight geographic regions shown in figure 1. A mean total of 3,000 metric gigatons (Gt) of storage resources was estimated to exist in buoyant and residual storage types. The known recovery replacement storage resource (KRRSR) is not shown in part A but is included in the buoyant storage type. Resources in federally owned offshore areas were not assessed. Mean values sum to totals but are reported to only two significant figures. Percentages were calculated from unrounded resource estimates.

The KRRSR is a minimum range of values that represent the amount of CO2 at subsurface conditions that could replace the volume of known hydrocarbons in petroleum reser- voirs. KRRSR is determined from production volumes rather than the geologic model of buoyant and residual resources that make up the TASR. The same type of resource is also included in the buoyant storage type estimated from a geologic model. Regions with the largest technically accessible storage resources (TASR) are the Coastal Plains Region (mean estimate RI*WRIZKLFKDERXW*WRUSHUFHQWLVLQWKH U.S. Gulf Coast) and the Alaska Region (mean estimate of 270 Gt), where the resource is almost entirely in the Alaska North Slope.

The well was drilled by the Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy) to test the effectiveness of storing CO2 in deep, unminable coal seams (Koperna and others, 2009). Similar wells could inject CO2 for storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Photograph by Eelco Kruizinga; used with permission.
